WASHINGTON — President Biden was so hellbent on getting out of Afghanistan that he rebuked any advice to the contrary, ignored the pleas of the Afghan government and disregarded objections from US allies.
That was the one of the main takeaways from the House Foreign Affairs Committee’s more than two-year investigation into America’s chaotic, deadly Afghanistan withdrawal, according to a blistering report released Sunday.
“During his decades-long tenure as a Delaware US senator, eight years as vice president of the United States and nearly four years as president, Mr. Biden has demonstrated distrust of America’s military experts and advisors and has prioritized politics and his personal legacy over America’s national security interests,” the roughly 350-page report asserted.

Yeah, right ... so they all say, NOW.
By blaming Biden, they hope to make Kamala look favorable.
Certainly, Biden deserves blame. Amazed to see it come out during his own administration.
I do wish Trump had wrapped this all up in Afghanistan before that corrupt election stealing dotard got his hands on it. I was of the opinion that because the Constitution of Afghanistan became explicitly Islamic that was when we should have refused to defend any such government constructed that way.
Another confirmation of what was already known.
And of course the other side continues to claim this was “Trump’s plan” so Biden had no choice but to chaotically pull out leaving thousands of our citizens behind, leaving behind those Afghans who helped us to be captured and tortured, many billions of dollars of equipment, abandoning the base to our enemies, etc. No, it wasn’t. None of it was. No Taliban takeover was on the cards. Trump told them if they tried that they would be wiped out and gave the Taliban leader a picture of his house to prove it.
There was nothing wrong with us leaving A-stan against the Generals and Allies wishes. The allies are free to stay, and Generals do not set policy.
The actual problem is HOW he did it. It was utter incompetence and rush to the airport. 80 billion dollars worth of gear, weapons and cash left behind in the mad rush. No orderly collapsing of perimeter and an orderly withdrawal.
It was utter incompetence.
THAT was the problem.
.
Because he gave it to China you dumb (insert bad word bere) that is who owns the Democratic Party along with a group of globalist pedophiles and some others you should be able to understand for yourselves… Epstein compromised type (bad words)… they also own the Bush family and a bunch of Republican elites like Romney, Cheney, Paul Ryan and Mike Pence… yes they bought both sides of US elites… they don’t own Trump. That is why they are all losing their minds because they are in both fact and effect traitors.
He always has been. Probably from the day he was born.
Just had a thought..they can now blame Biden.. for all kinds of stuff..he’s a potato...who’s gonna do anything about it?
How? She bragged about being "the last person in the room" when Biden made the decision to withdraw. She said it was "courageous" and the "right decision."

Let me add my own “Huh?” Absolutely no evidence to support that assertion
That, in and of itself, is a death sentence for this country.
No one in Congress should ever be allowed to do that.
He had an agreement to leave...but it was conditional on them not be aggressive. Biden removed all conditions. He messed up royally....and Kamala was his biggest fan for the leave.
Senile old Democrats kill US military personnel [Abbey Gate in Kabul].
His plan was always to blame Trump if it went sideways, even though they were not required to follow any previous timeline.
In the first days, he was like a bull in a china shop.
Anything with a “T” on it (as in Trump) was blindly and arrogantly smashed and crashed for the only reason it was from the Trump administration.
It became worse when he had a poor plan to replace those “T” ideas - or no plan at all.
He’s pulling the same cr** with Israel.
Biden wanted the withdrawal before 9/11 so he could pat himself on the back
